Carol Mae Prinsen

Carol Mae Prinsen, 87, of Cedar Grove passed away peacefully at home on Monday, March 23, 2026.

Carol was born on May 13, 1938, to Walter and Edna (Bruggink) TenHaken in Sheboygan. She grew up in Gibbsville and graduated from Oostburg High School in 1956.

Carol was united in marriage to Roger Prinsen on March 15, 1958, at Gibbsville Reformed Church.

Her faith was a vital aspect of her life, and it was reflected in her lifelong church membership. Growing up a member of Gibbsville Church, she later joined First Reformed Church of Cedar Grove, where she shared her gift as an organist for 50-plus years, serving countless families for funerals, weddings and Sunday worship.

Carol also remained busy with her handiwork and artistic touch, wallpapering and painting the homes of friends and family for years alongside her sister Marge. And though they never had a formal business, per se, the list of homes they left their mark on is extensive!

Carol considered her greatest life’s calling to be the mother of her four beloved children, grandma to her 11 grandchildren and three stepgrandchildren and great-grandma to her nine great-grandchildren and four stepgreat-grandchildren.

Carol loved to play cards anytime she could. She enjoyed teaching her grandchildren how to play and always loved winning. For more than 40 years, Carol bowled on the Otte Bowling Team and golfed in a league at Town and Country. Carol and Roger went on numerous trips, too many to count.

Carol is survived by her husband of 68 years Roger, her children Mike (Natalie) Prinsen, Scott (Susan) Prinsen and Jacki (Brent) Voskuil and daughter-in-law Denise Prinsen.

She also leaves behind grandchildren Andrew (Sarah) Prinsen, John (Angie) Prinsen, Alicia (Charlie) Stollberg, Jessica (Paul) Voskuil, Kelsey Prinsen and Bradley (Samantha) Prinsen, Cole (Mina) Prinsen, Jacob (Gina) Prinsen, Jamie Prinsen (Gunnar), Ashley Voskuil and Matthew Voskuil; stepgrandchildren Austin Klug, Conner (Katelyn) Klug and Zachary Klug; nine great-grandchildren; four stepgreat-grandchildren; and many beloved nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her son Randy; parents; parents-in-law Irwin and Delia (Navis); sister Marge (Norman) Mulder; brother Kenneth (Mary) TenHaken; sisters-in-law Elvira (Harold) Klug and Arlene Soerens; and brother-in-law Ernest (Marion) Prinsen.
